Super smooth zin! Dark berries with spice on finish. Would be wonderful with Spicy ethnic or BBQ but great on its own — 5 years ago
One of my go-tos. I love this cab. It always has a fantastic flavor, aroma, smooth body and perfect finish. And for the price, I don’t feel as guilty opening it as I do opening some of my other inglenook favorites. — 7 years ago

I was pretty nervous about this #napavalley 1981 #cabernetsauvignon being able to go the distance. First of several 1981 bottles for my lovely wife’s 40th birthday. I’m an Ah So rookie so still managed to break the cork and drown the bottom half in the bottle. After an easy pour through a tea strainer into a decanter, let it sit for a while. Now past an hour it’s really opened up - no doubt it’s on a gentle glide slope decline but so many layers of tertiary aromas. Raisin notes, Medjool dates, maple syrup, some charcuterie notes on the nose. Not much primary fruit left at all - a bit oxidized on the palate but still robust acidity, leather, sanded-down tannins on a rapid finish. — 4 years ago
Vintage 2006. So good!!! — 6 years ago
A beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick/ orange rim.
Still very fruity on the nose with blackberries, blueberries, sweet cherries, figs, spices, cedar, vanilla, earth, leather, licorice, eucalyptus, pencil lead, black olives, dark chocolates, coffee, coke, spices and black pepper. What a great nose.
Medium plus in body, and elegant, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, earth, licorice, cloves, herbs, wet leaves, vinaigrette, vegetables, dark chocolates, graphites, dark coffee, Indian spices and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with very little tannins and tangy strawberries.
This is a great experience. A very interesting Zinfandel from an iconic Winery in Napa Valley. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food.
This 41 year old is still showing lots of fruits with great complexity. Very gentle and soft on the palate. Great mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and died after 2.5 hours of airtime, so drink up. Soft tannins came out after 2 hours of airtime.
13% (unbelievable) alcohol by volume.

1972 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon "Limited Cask" Cask 60. At 46 years old, this wine is holding up remarkably well. Nice dark ruby color with little to no browning on the edge. Soft cherry-like aroma with a light cedar note. Firm acidity with cherry fruit. Great texture on the palate. Fruit lingers well into the finish. Not drying out at all. Classic older Inglenook Cab. Perfect now, if well cellared. — 7 years ago
